This lesbian was escorted out of a bathroom after security misgendered her
Security attempted to escort a lesbian woman was out of toilets at a music venue after because they thought she was a man.
Mary Looper was at a Carrie Underwood concert with her aunt when security attempted to escort her out of the womenās restroom.
A female security officer stood outside Looperās stall demanding for proof she was a woman.
Looper was watching Carrie Underwood at the Staples centre in Los Angeles when the security mistook her for a man.
She took to Facebook to share her dismay at the ignorance of the security team.
Loopersā friends give us hope though, as they outpour of love and support they showed for their friend is everything.
Some of them even took to the Staples Centre facebook page to complain.
āDiscriminatory practices against women in the public restroom. I will never go to Staples Center and spend a dime. You need to get a grip on your policing of restrooms and specifically whether a customer is using the ācorrectā facility that matches their gender presentation or should we just show our genitalia to be able to use a restroom at all? Idiots!ā wrote one person.
āAbsolutely disappointed about the discrimination my friend experienced last night while at a Carrie Underwood show. She is a WOMAN who is tall, has short hair and boobs but was somehow escorted out of the womenās restroom by an employee because someone didnāt think she belonged in the womenās restroom. Waiting outside a bathroom stall while demanding she prove she is in fact a woman is vile, humiliating and unacceptable.ā wrote another.
Looper, who said she gets mistaken for a man often, took to the comments to thank her friends for their support.
āThanks everyone for the kind words. I get mistaken for a man all the timeā¦ Itās no secret. But, for the fact that their woman employee waited outside my stall for proof that I was a woman, didnāt believe me off my voiceā¦ Thatās what hurt and had me shocked. I didnāt wanna stir anything up but never ever thought Iād be treated like that in a womanās restroom in L.A., in the Staples Center. Just a bummer it went that far.ā
Despite the experience Looper still enjoyed the concert.
āThe other stuff kinda put a damper on the night but Swon Brothers, Easton Corbin, and Carrie Underwood were fantastic,ā she wrote.
